To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB LAMBERTY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Kewanee, in the county of llcnryznnd State of Illinois, haveinvented a. new and useful Im rovement in Pine-Pullers, of which the folowing is a speci cation.

This invention relates to pipe pullers and more particularly vto devicesfor handling furnaces, the object being to provide a device that willrip a pair of tongs carrying the pipe and raw the sanie out- Wardly asthe pipe comes out of the furnace. Withthis an other objects in view,the

- invention consists in the novel features of construction, combinationand arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and pointed out inthe claims.

In the drawings forming a part ofv this specificationzfFigure 1 is a.perspective view of my improved pipe puller. Fig. 2 is a top lan'view ofa portion of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view showing themanner of connecting the bench to the stand. Fig. 4 is a sideelevational view of the puller ihowing the jaw of .the carrier open. IFig. 5 is a sideclevational view of the puller, showing the jaw of thecarrier closed on a pipe of tongs. Figll 6 is a section taken on lines 6-6 ig. 7 is a. perspective view of the carrier. Fig. 8 is a perspectiyevie'n' ofthe jaw. Fig. 9 is an inverted perspective view of the carrier.

Referring to the drawings A and B indicate I which is mounted u. pin Jon which is mount ed the apertured shank K, of a. curved jaw K, "uhichis adapted to clamp thetongs on the same then being pulled outwardly.lhe shank of the jaw projects downward y through the slot in the benchand is provided with a slot K, adjacent its end in which is mounteda rodL, provided a ith an e e at each end to one end of v'hich one en of a.

or tn ice around a grooved pullcyN, carried by a shaft 0, mounted inbrac win 0', se-

The cable is then extended forwardly up over, a pulley P, mounted inbearings l", secured to each side of the slot in the leg G, o[ the benchand is connected to the eye at the other end of the rod L, so that thecarrier can be worked back and forth on the truck and it nill be seenthat the downwardly on the Gitl'l'lel W hen traveling outwardly so as toglip the ipe and v. ill be draw-n open as it travels bac (v ardly so asto release the pipe. A drive heel Q'is fixed on the end of the cd to beconnected crating the some. 7

At the present time, wrought iron pipes are pulled by a chain which isvery clumsy and expensive, as it requires three men to hook the tongscarrying the sheet of metal to the chains, while with my improvedpuller, one mancun do the same work as all the mun has to do is to clamsheet of metal in the Furnace when it reaches an electric motor foropcured to each side of the slot of the leg A.

a pair of tongs on a- 4 reduced end 0' of the top C,'betreen 'Ihich apair of slotted legs on vi hich is mounted a top 0 which is connected tothe legs A by; braces forming a stand. One end of the top beyond the legB and is re- C projects out duo-ed at C. A strip E is secured under thethe right heat, then place on a bell which is adapted to be arranged ina head-block adapted to be secured on the end of the bench all of whichare of the ordinary con struction. As the carrier block on the benchcomes to the end of the bench and is reversed ,IS ivotally mounted on apin F, the reduced end G, of the tog of abcnch G, which is supported bylegs 1} connected thereto by races G, G. The top of the bench isprovided with a longitudinal slot to each side of which is secured atmck ll on which is mounted the carrier block I, which is provided withdo'vvnvrnrdly.projcctin sides 1, adapted to fitovor said track. 'l 10carrier block is'providod with a beveled front end l and the top is cutout at I and inclinoddox 'un'ardly at I", and bifurcatednt I" having upY crtured enlargements forming bearings t is.

automatically and draw the sheet of metal through the bell forming itinto n ipc and as the carrier reaches the other end up the bench and isreversed, the jaw will be opened automatically so that the tongs can bereadily taken out.

llnvlng thus fully described my invention, \rlmt I i-lain! as now anddesire to secure by Lotti-rs lniout is;

l. 'ifho rombinution with a bench having it slot formed therein, of acarrier mounted on the jaw of the some will close on the tongs cable M,is connected, \'-lll('-l1 is t: isted once jaw. will be drawn 7 Shaft o,to tint-i1 is ndnpti said bench provided with e jaw having a shankworking in said slot and connected to a cable for the purpose described.

2. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a benchhaving a longitudinel slot formed therein; of a track secured on saidbench, a carrier arranged on said track a ivoted jew carried by saidcarrier working in said slot, and a, cable connected to said jaw, forthe purpose described.

3. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a benchheving a slot formed in its top, of trecks secured to the top of thebench to each side of said slot, a; carrier mounted on said tracks, ajaw rivets slly moiinted' on said carrier having a s otted shankextending down through said slot in the top of the bench and a rodworking in said top, a jaw pivotally'mounted on said carrier providedwith a, slotted shank extending down through saidslot in the to of thebench, a rod wor in said slot end e cable connected 'to the en s of therod, for: the purpose described.
